We are delighted that you have visited our website. Below, we would like to inform you about how we handle your data in accordance with Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Person in charge
The entity named in the legal notice is responsible for the data processing described below.
Usage data
When you visit our websites, our web server temporarily evaluates so-called usage data for statistical purposes in order to improve the quality of our websites. This data set consists of
- the name and address of the requested content,
- the date and time of the query,
- the amount of data transferred,
- the access status (content transferred, content not found),
- the description of the web browser and operating system used,
- the referral link indicating which page you came to ours from,
- the IP address of the requesting computer, which is shortened so that it can no longer be traced back to a specific person.
The aforementioned log data will only be evaluated anonymously.
The legal basis for processing usage data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Processing is carried out in the legitimate interest of providing the content of the website and ensuring a device- and browser-optimised display.
Essential cookies
We use cookies on our websites that are necessary for the use of our websites.
Cookies are small text files that can be stored and read on your device. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session.
We do not use these necessary cookies for analysis, tracking or advertising purposes.
In some cases, these cookies only contain information about certain settings and are not personally identifiable. They may also be necessary to enable user guidance, security and implementation of the website.
We use these cookies on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
You can set your browser to notify you when cookies are placed. You can also delete them at any time using the appropriate browser settings and prevent new cookies from being placed. Please note that our websites may then not be able to be displayed in full and some functions may no longer be available for technical reasons.
Google Analytics
We use the web analysis tool "Google Analytics" to tailor our websites to your needs. Google Analytics creates usage profiles based on pseudonyms. For this purpose, permanent cookies are stored on your device and read by us. This enables us to recognise returning visitors and count them as such.
Within the scope of the Google Analytics service, Google Ireland Limited supports us as a processor in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out by Google outside the EU or the EEA (in particular in the USA). With regard to Google, an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed on the basis of the adequacy decision (EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework). Google also undertakes to conclude standard contractual clauses with other sub-processors.
Data processing is based on your consent, provided that you have given your consent via our banner. You can revoke your consent at any time. To do so, please follow this link and adjust the settings accordingly via our banner.

You can contact us using our contact form. To use our contact form, we first require the information marked as mandatory fields.
We use this data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to respond to your enquiry.
Your data will only be processed to respond to your enquiry. We will delete your data if it is no longer required and there are no legal retention obligations that prevent this.
With regard to processing in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time. To do so, please contact the email address provided in the legal notice.
Social-Media-Plugins
We enable you to use social plugins. However, for data protection reasons, no data is transmitted to social media services when you visit our websites.
However, you have the option of giving your consent to this data processing via our banners in order to activate and use the social plugins integrated into our websites. Only then will your browser establish a connection to the servers of the operator of the respective social media service.
If you activate a plugin via the corresponding setting in the banner, the social media service will receive your IP address in particular, as well as information about your visit to our websites (usage data). This occurs regardless of whether you have an account with the respective social media service. If you are logged in, the data can be directly assigned to your social media profile.
Overall, we have no influence on whether and to what extent the respective social media service processes personal data after activation. However, it is likely that the social media service will create usage profiles from your data and use them for the purpose of personalised advertising. In addition, your data will be used to inform other users of the social media service about your activities on our websites.
The embedding is based on your consent, provided that you have given your consent via our banner. If the data is processed outside the EU or the EEA (in particular in the USA) within this framework, we provide information on the level of data protection in the table below.
If you no longer wish your personal data to be processed by the activated social plugins, you can prevent future processing by withdrawing your consent. To do so, please follow this link and adjust the settings accordingly via our banner.
Map services
We embed map services on our websites that are not stored on our servers. For data protection reasons, however, when you visit our websites, no third-party content is downloaded and the third-party provider does not receive any information.
Only when you give your consent via our banner will third-party content be reloaded. This provides the third-party provider with information that you have accessed our site, as well as the technically necessary usage data. We have no influence on further data processing by the third-party provider. Your consent includes the reloading of third-party content.
The embedding is based on your consent, provided that you have given your consent via our banner.
Please note that the embedding of some map services means that your data will be processed outside the EU or the EEA (in particular in the USA). If the data is processed outside the EU or the EEA (in particular in the USA) in this context, we provide information on the level of data protection in the table below.
Dtorage period
Unless we have already provided specific information about the storage period, we delete personal data when it is no longer required for the aforementioned processing purposes and there are no legitimate interests or other (legal) reasons for storage that prevent deletion.
Your rights as a data subject
When processing your personal data, the GDPR grants you, as the data subject, certain rights:
Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed; if this is the case, you have the right to access this personal data and to the information specified in detail in Art. 15 GDPR.
Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
You have the right to request the immediate correction of inaccurate personal data concerning you and, if necessary, the completion of incomplete data.
Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
You have the right to request that personal data concerning you be deleted immediately if one of the reasons specified in Article 17 GDPR applies.
Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)
You have the right to request the restriction of processing if one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 GDPR applies, e.g. if you have lodged an objection to the processing, for the duration of the review by the controller.
Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
In certain cases, which are listed in detail in Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request the transfer of this data to a third party.
Right of withdrawal (Art. 7 GDPR)
If data processing is based on your consent, you are entitled under Article 7(3) of the GDPR to withdraw your consent to the use of your personal data at any time. Please note that the withdrawal of consent only applies to the future. Processing that took place before the withdrawal is not affected.
Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (data processing to safeguard legitimate interests) or on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) GDPR (data processing to safeguard public interests or in the exercise of official authority), you have the right to object to the processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then no longer process the personal data unless there are demonstrably compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR)
Pursuant to Article 77 of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of data concerning you violates data protection regulations.
